Eddie's Autobody is a small auto repair/body shop located out of Groveland, MA. This review pertains to the autobody section of the shop.
During the winter of 2015, a friend slid into my truck in a private lot. The passenger side fender was bent in and would need to be replaced. He agreed to pay for the damage privately as to not affect his insurance.
My friend had a connections with Eddie's Autobody, and we got an excellent quote (less than half the amount of every other quote received). I spoke to Eddie and scheduled a time for the truck to be repaired. Eddie understood that I needed the vehicle back in a timely manner, and promised the job to be completed within 2-3 business days. I dropped my truck off on a Sunday night.
By Wednesday afternoon, I had heard nothing from Eddie. I called his shop, and after several calls found out that he had not began work on the truck because the new fender came in bent and he was busy with other jobs. They promised me that it would be completed by Friday at that point. I got in touch with the shop on Thursday to confirm that the truck would be done. The person who I spoke to said they were fairly sure that it would be done, but if it was not completed they would leave it outside so I would be able to use the truck during the weekend. Friday, I called Eddie's shop and personal number several times and never received a reply. I went down to the shop on Friday, only to find that Eddie had left the shop for the day and the truck was locked in the shop for the weekend. I left a message on Eddie's personal line, which he did not respond to until the following Monday.
I was impressed with the quality of work when I picked up the truck. Eddie had taken the time to buff out the surrounding areas of the impact, and paint/mount the new fender so it appeared as if nothing had happened. Eddie left the truck outside for me to pick up on a Monday, but failed to leave the key in the vehicle and never left a work order. I was pleased with the quality of work, but extremely disappointed with the customer service aspect of the transaction. Eddie did not live up the the promises he made of timeliness, and showed absolutely no desire to keep the customer informed.
The bottom line: Eddie does great autobody work for a decent price, but exhibits no communication or willingness to complete jobs in a promised timeline. Unless you have no need for your vehicle for a long period of time, you would be best served checking in with other local autobody shops instead of Eddie's Auto Body. read more
